The Toronto Maple Leafs, who have lost five of their past six games and suddenly find themselves five points out of a wild-card spot, received some encouraging news when, on Saturday, January 24th, leading point scorer William Nylander and depth forward Joshua Dakota skated for about 20 minutes before Leafs practice.
While the presence of Nylander and Dakota on the ice is an encouraging sign for Leafs fans, no set timetable on when they can be back in action has been made official as the team heads into the final week of January, five-points out of a wildcard spot.
